As more intermittent renewable energy resources are added to the power grid, generator connectivity during a grid fault becomes ever more important to mitigate the risk of cascading blackouts. An ...

In one company’s new design, the slip process takes place not on the generator shaft surface, but inside the CENTA Torque Hub, which is mounted on the generator shaft in the coupling’s clamping set.

In wind power plants, electrical circuit problems are known to cause short-term torque peaks. In this event, slip clutches protect the costly gearbox against overload by slipping at a defined maximum ...

A&A Manufacturing Company, Inc. North Haven, Conn. Continuous and intermittent slip clutches nd myriad uses, and engineers improve new motion control applications with them every day. How do they work ...
